Why passengers choose TravelStacks

US DOT refunds and denied boarding, not covered by Compensair

Compensair focuses on EU261 and UK261 claims. If your disrupted flight departed from a US airport, Compensair cannot help. TravelStacks handles DOT refunds ($19 flat fee), expense reimbursement, and denied boarding compensation (up to $1,550 per DOT rules) for all US-departing flights.

One platform for transatlantic round trips

Fly New York to London return and both legs get disrupted? Your JFK outbound is a US DOT claim. Your LHR return is a UK261 claim worth up to 520 pounds. TravelStacks handles both. Compensair handles only the LHR leg. You would need two services with them.

Flight Watch proactive monitoring

Register an upcoming flight and TravelStacks monitors it in real time. If your flight is disrupted, we alert you immediately. Compensair does not have an equivalent feature. Early notification matters: airlines fill customer service queues fast after major disruptions.

Full DOT escalation pipeline for US claims

For US DOT claims, TravelStacks files with the airline, follows up at multiple intervals, and escalates to a formal DOT complaint if the airline ignores or denies the claim. This full pipeline is included in the $19 flat fee. Compensair has no equivalent US escalation path.

Identical EU/UK fee, with no hidden extras

For EU261 and UK261 claims, both services charge 25%. TravelStacks adds US coverage on top of that, at no increase in fee. No membership, no subscription, no app download required.

Where Compensair has an edge

We’re honest about where Compensair currently wins.

Established EU261 track record since 2018

Compensair has been handling EU/UK claims since 2018 and has a verifiable history of successful claims. TravelStacks launched in 2026. If EU261 precedent expertise matters, their experience is longer.

Verified Trustpilot presence

Compensair has an established review base on Trustpilot. TravelStacks is building ours. We are starting in 2026 with a no-win, no-fee guarantee and a lower US fee structure.

Multilingual support

Compensair supports multiple European languages. TravelStacks currently serves English-speaking passengers.
